Steve Carell follows up his incredibly creepy, Oscar-nominated performance in 2014’s Foxcatcher with another outstanding one in The Big Short. Carell plays Mark Baum (not the actual person’s real name), manager of a hedge fund called FrontPoint, who sees how the bets being placed against an unstable housing market by other investors could bring about the collapse of the entire banking system — and yet even as he rages against it, his firm makes billions off the same bets.
Adam McKay’s satirical yet infuriating film about the 2008 financial crisis that rocked Wall Street and the world is a kaleidoscopic blend of comedy and tragedy, with celebrities like Selena Gomez explaining things like credit default swaps and characters breaking the fourth wall to talk directly to the audience. Carell fits perfectly into this mix as Baum, who’s tortured yet remains righteous. We spoke with Carell about embodying this complex yet ultimately moral man.
